162 NATURE-STUDY REVIEW [12:4— April, 191(j 



I was planning to have my picture taken with the bird the fol- 

 lowing Sunday, but alas, that could not be. The next day we 

 decided to put the house up higher because we were afraid that 

 the cat might get him, and when we did so the martins came and 

 sat on the house. Our little wren would not stand for this, so 

 made war on the martins and got hurt. The large bodies of the 

 martins striking against him stunned him. (I have omitted to 

 say that a day or two before this, he found a mate.) 



The morning of the last day, he flew over to the porch and alight- 

 ed on my head. He flew to the porch several times after that, 

 the last time alighting on the little boy's foot and walking up to 

 his arm, then he flew back to his house and died. 



When his mate found him, she was alarmed and tried to raise 

 him up, but she could not and soon left. 



Everybody felt badly about losing our pet, and it seemed sort 

 of quiet the rest of that day. 



Corrections 



In the list of Nature Study Instructors in the February number the 

 following corrections and additions should be made: 



New Jersey — At Newark, Miss Agnes Vinton Luther is one of the 

 instructors. Her name was inadvertently twisted to L. A. Vinton. Trenton, 

 N. J. was omitted. Dr. R. G. Leavitt, Elizabeth P. Sheppard, and Countess 

 Mitchum are the teachers there. Brockport, N. J. is a mistake. It should 

 be omitted. 



New Mexico — El Rito is the only Noimal reporting. 



North Carolina — Name was omitted on page 74. Fayetteville to Winston 

 should be included under this State.
